Pickled eggs are a delicious treat that can be enjoyed on their own, in salads, or as a topping for sandwiches and burgers. They are easy to make at home and can be stored for several weeks in the refrigerator. In this article, we will show you how to prepare pickled hard-boiled eggs.

Ingredients:

1 dozen large eggs
1 cup distilled white vinegar
1 cup water
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon dill seeds (optional)
1 small onion, sliced (optional)
Red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions:

Step 1: Boil the eggs

Place the eggs in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 12 minutes.

Step 2: Peel the eggs

Drain the hot water and place the eggs in a bowl of ice water. Let them cool for a few minutes, then peel the shells off. Be careful not to damage the egg whites in the process.

Step 3: Prepare the pickling solution

In a medium pot, combine the vinegar, water, sugar, salt, peppercorns, bay leaf, and dill seeds (if using) over medium heat. Stir until the sugar and salt dissolve. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 4: Add optional ingredients

If you like your pickled eggs to have a bit of spice, add some red pepper flakes to the pickling solution. You can also add sliced onions or garlic for added flavor.

Step 5: Pack the eggs

Place the peeled eggs in a large mason jar or a container with a tight-fitting lid. Pour the pickling solution (including the spices and optional ingredients) over the eggs, making sure they are completely covered.

Step 6: Refrigerate for several days

Seal the container and refrigerate it for at least 24 hours before serving. For best flavor, let the eggs sit in the pickling solution for several days before eating. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 weeks.
